3 guys walk into a hotel. They ask the attendant how much for a room, he replies saying $30. The 3 customers pay $10 each for the room, and head up to their lodgings. The manager walks in and reminds the desk attendant its $25 for the room, not $30, and is told to give the $5 back. The attendant, slips $2 into his own pocket and hands $1 to each of the 3 customers.
Now...
$30 was original price
$25 actual price
$2 to attendant
$1 x 3 customers.
all that equals $30 (25+2+1+1+1=30)
After $1 was given back, the people now have paid $9 each.
9x3=27 + 2 to attendant = 29
Where did the extra dollar go?
